Motoring to Puerto Escondido (Hidden Port)
27 November 2007 | Sea of Cortez

We left early this morning ( about 6 am) to hopefully get some calm seas and wind, since we are motoring the whole way. There are 360 degrees of wind and it always seems to be pointing straight at us. Anyway, last night we stayed at Gato y Toro anchorage. It looked a lot like Sedona with these incredible red rocks. There were 3 other boats at this anchorage but there was plenty of room for everyone.
Bruce and Cynthia (the sweedies, that is how they spell it, don't ask me why) went to shore immediately to go on the shell collecting expedition. I am sad to report there are no more shells here after they got done. Our boat is now listing to one side due to all the shells , sticks and stuff they have collected on the beach. There must not be not any sticks and stuff in Arizona.
This anchorage rocked and rolled all night. The wind was from the North and the swells from the East. So we threw up to the West and left this anchorage to the South as we head for Puerto Escondido.
